Setting up a new Proxmox cluster and were adding a NAS shared storage wondering if we should set the MTU to 9000 rather than 1500. we are using 10g networking to the switch.
MTU Settings for NAS storage

Hi @Eric Thornton , welcome to the forum.
MTU size is not tied to network speed. You can use non-standard MTU values on 1 Gbit just as well as on 25 Gbit or higher links.
The key point is consistency: all devices participating in the same network path must use the same MTU. This includes all servers, switch ports, NAS systems, and any other devices operating on that network segment.
